Mar Roxas’s Wack Wack suspension: another giant leap to a modern Philippines!

Another giant leap for the lot of ordinary Filipinos who have long suffered under the culture of impunity perpetrated by their elected “leaders”! In a resolution issued by the Board of Wack Wack Golf and Country Club, the Philippines’ Secretary of Interior and Local Government Mar Roxas was reportedly suspended as member of the swanky club.

A club member, who asked not to be identified, said the board met Monday night and voted to suspend Roxas for two months after an investigation of the April 6 incident when Roxas purportedly screamed at club employees who insisted that he pay the green fee of a guest.

“Five [directors] voted to suspend him for two months while only one voted to simply reprimand him. Three [other directors] abstained from the vote while one was absent from the meeting,” the member said.

Roxas had earlier apologised for the incident. However, he also denied allegations that he viciously berated and cussed at club employees. Roxas reportedly said that the “unfortunate” incident will form “part of [his] reflection for this Lenten season”.

Fortunately for Mar, he does not have only the Church to turn to in this sudden time of need for absolution. Members of Philippine Congress had this week chimed in to lend their support for the embattled sidekick of President Benigno Simeon “BS” Aquino III.

Eastern Samar Rep. Ben Evardone bizarrely used the now infamous incident in Tacloban where Roxas raised the issue of partisan politics in a meeting with Tacloban Mayor Alfred Romualdez to buttress testimonials in favour of Roxas’s character….

“He always keeps his cool and equanimity. That was very evident in his now famous meeting with the mayor of Tacloban City shortly after Super Typhoon Yolanda struck. The video footage that was apparently secretly taken shows that he did raise his voice,” he said.

Errrmmm, yes, he did not raise his voice, further highlighting the revealing banality of the way he weaved politics into a crisis meeting that, at the time, could determine the fate of hundreds of thousands of lives of typhoon victims. Aklan Rep. Teodorico Haresco Jr, for his part, pointed out that “Mar remains a most humble, down-to-earth person in the P-Noy Cabinet.”

All consistent of course, considering that these are all products of the popular vote — a direct reflection of the national character that they’d so quickly defend the actions of an erring crony. Whether rich or poor, Filipinos, after all, are renowned for their misplaced arrogance — often taking every opportunity to one-up the other in a hilarious race to some sort of social golden fleece.

Coincidentally, Mar Roxas is billed “Mister Palengke” in his own personal website. A fitting title for a politician with a growing track record of palengkera behaviour.

mar roxas? mr. palengke? what an insult to our hard working market vendors to have him numbered among them. they do not hide behind expensive attires as they ply their trade. this one, he is in branded get ups, but there can be no euphemisms for the crimes he has committed against plain and simple decency.

In a blog here, I once described Tricky Ricky Carandang as the herald of Noynoy . Mar is all that and maybe worse. Still Noynoy’s Teflon is proving itself where none of Mar’s stink rubs off on the reason why Mar is in many of these situations to begin with. With exception of that round of golf. I still think nothing good can come from marrying a maid beater.

Mr. Arrogance himself is known in many circles to be a complete ass of the highest order. European Company CEOs who had to deal with him have many stories to tell about his behavior which boarders on racism. Wack Wack should have suspended him for lifetime. After denying the allegations against him I ask: “Who is the shameless liar now?”

Someone needs to stick it to Mar like it got stuck to Hyden Toro in another post on the blog. Read it, it’s pretty funny. Gotta keep the bastards honest, you know: http://getrealphilippines.com/blog/2014/04/abortion-is-really-a-simple-issue-if-you-take-the-soul-out-of-the-debate/comment-page-1/#comment-283282 Hello, Hyden – I don’t understand why you have to call me a yellowtard idiot. I wasn’t rude with you. All I was asking for was some clarification. And you were rude to me in response. Is it because I didn’t agree with you or take your side? That’s no reason to be rude. But let me reply to you now. You only understand rudeness. So I… Read more »

Hey Roland! You Class-less asshat! If your mad at H.T. why not state so? BUT ,leave his Mother out if it. You can certainly behave in a way that doesn’t denigrate a Lady,yes? So why not apologize to the guy for insulting his Mother? and if you are still angry? Present yourself to the MAN personally and do what two MEN do to iron out their differences? AND may the best MAN win, EH? or will you remain an ASS-HAT and keep spewing the filthy scribblings of a disgruntled 17 yr.old out of that 7 yr. old POS PC your… Read more »

I didn’t know you cared so much about Hyden, JT. And there you go calling Hyden’s “Mother” (with a capital M, no less) a “Lady.” A dude who calls a stranger asking an honest question (did you read the post?) is not a “son of a lady” but a son of a bitch. Only a bitch would raise her son to treat others the way Hyden does. So you can bet your plump little ass that I’m not going to apologize to the pussy. And if that shit that Pedro Sanchez wrote is pure comic gold, what are you going… Read more »

Humility is a virtue and is rarely found among those who flaunt and abuse their authority political power. The abusive behavior of certain politicians shows that they are above and beyond mere mortals. They think that they can do anything they want to do with impunity. In certain exceptions rules, mass media and the law exposes, castigates and penalizes these abusive people.

What does a guy have to do to read a blog in peace these days? Ok, let’s see if we can figure this one out. Hydie? Is that you? Or is this Hydie’s very aggrieved boyfriend? (Let’s call you Boyboy). At any rate, either you’re Hydie, or you’re not. Whoever you are, you clearly care deeply for Hydie, maybe even very deeply. Let’s do this on a case-by-case basis. Case 1. (You are Hydie). Glad to see you too, fucktard. You finally are beginning to get the hang of writing in correct English. The Tagalog is a nice touch too… Read more »

If it is true, the guy should be beaten to a pulp! WHY? BECAUSE HE IS AN ARROGANT CHEAP FUCK!!! There is no excusing this wannabe president-in-the-making.Whatta weasel. How much is the green fee to play a round of golf at that dump they call ‘exclusive’? I have been there and it is ‘average’ by Western standards, as far as country clubs go. This guy is no doubt rich, even by Western standards, and has become an ARROGANT MAN. “MAR” as he is lovingly refferred to is as big a scumbag as there is that country. His buddies will come… Read more »

Whoa, steady on there, champ! You might be on the rag right now, but that’s no reason to get hysterical! Of Mar you write: “take him to the bottom of the ocean…and leave him there.” Are you making an incitement to violence against a government official? I don’t know the Penal Code of the Philippines, but that doesn’t look legal. You might be a hothead, but what you’re saying is pretty extreme. Are you ready to put your money where your mouth is, if the law calls you out on your (now on the public record) incitement to violence? Look,… Read more »

YOU REALLY are a presumptuous douchbag aren’t you? What makes you think I am even inside that cesspool of a country? OR that I am actually Named JT and that JT is actually 4 different people?and that this could be written by any number of people?

you’ve probably never heard of the TOR browser either.

ROLAND, you are not an intelligent person. You are presumptuous to a blinding degree.Insulting, in the first-class variety, and arrogant to boot.

A quick look at the Revised Penal Code reveals the following. Art. 139 states that “The crime of sedition is committed by persons who rise publicly and tumultuously in order to attain by force, intimidation, or by other means outside of legal methods, any of the following objects: […] 3. To inflict any act of hate or revenge upon the person or property of any public officer or employee.” Recommending that Mar Roxas, the current Secretary of the Philippine Department of Interior and Local Government, “should be beaten to a pulp” as JT Jerzy does in his post seems to… Read more »

Johnny – Oh look, it’s an illiterate bottom-feeding herd animal who thinks he can speak for everyone here. Well, when you’re a hungry, desperate shitkicker whose life can be fairly described as the shit end of the stick, you would act as if anyone who voiced an opinion vaguely different from your own was your enemy. If you can’t tell the difference between exercising freedom of speech and inciting to sedition, then you are yet another reason why this country is going to shit. If people like you ever obtained power, then the Philippines’ transition to failed state would be… Read more »

Well, if this guy was actually at the Mall of Asia,RIGHT NOW…what would you do? OR if you were told that the guy is staying at the Bayside hotel on Roxas Bvd.,near UN ave, and that the guy will be dining at the bar of the pub that used to be called ‘OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE, the place called “SWAGMAN’s”, what would you do? buy the first guy who answers to the name “JT” a drink,LOL!!! and hope you don’t get beat up by the entire crew thats with the guy? THEN WHAT? Seriously, what would YOU do? U know, not all… Read more »

Bjorn, would you be so kind then as to inform us all what saying that a government official “should be beaten to a pulp” seems to be? Under the Revised Penal Code, it looks like “inciting to sedition.” Learn to read, shithead.

I’d also be glad to hear from you when I suggested that “all the ex-pats in the country are poop-butts.”

PLEASE Go up to one EX-PAT that is NOT an old man!OK? and insult his Mother,as you seem to like doing….and you yourself shall find out what you seem so despearte to find out. I make no guarantees, but hopefully,you will find out exactly what that statement means, the hard way!

Thanks for speaking for Bjorn, JT. Good to see that you can’t tell when a question isn’t addressed to you.

And thanks too for speaking for Hyden Toro’s mom. You’re a real knight in shining armor, Mamma Italia. It looks like Hyden was too chicken shit to do it himself. His nonreaction was even lamer than getting flogged with a warm lettuce. So yeah, I know what that statement means.

@ roland, felix This site serves as an avenue for people’s frustration with the poor performance of people like Mar, in this case. JT expressed his frustration and you people call it “inciting violence” and even to the point you suggest to penalize him? Which is in itself is kinda daft since you do not even know who he is and where he is. Read: Channel for people’s dissatisfaction. If your bosses were indeed doing their job well then people wouldn’t be voicing such frustrations here, simple really. Get that through your thick skulls. Good luck with going after the… Read more »

Just to put it in perspective — there have been other instances where comments posted by JT include suggestions to riot in the streets and express frustration by committing acts of violence not only against government officials but also anyone who is perceived to be well off or a member of the ‘elite.’ JT has suggested that Filipinos should be engaging in violent street protests akin to the riots in the Ukraine and in Thailand and that it puzzles him why we do not.

I get it JS, JT Jerzy can be sometimes over the edge, but this new characters, felix and roland torres are fools to even think about going to this site and commenting like a$$holes. Instead of just getting their points across, they will also add a generous helping of vile words words and ad hominems just to muddle the discussion going on in the comments section. So much for intelligent insights, for them it is literally flushed down the drain. See his reply to comment below: “But you’re clearly a little boy who thinks…….. “us” and “them.” Where the hell… Read more »

Joely, sorry to see you so upset. Let’s look at what you had to say, point by point. I won’t put words in your mouth, promise. This is all you. 1. You write: “Instead of just getting their points across, they will also add a generous helping of vile words words and ad hominems just to muddle the discussion going on in the comments section.” Roland Torres is over the edge. But before you cry foul about “vile words and ad hominems,” consider this. Johnny Derp figured it was all right to call names. You figured it was fine to… Read more »

Johnny, I knew that you’d come around – it was just a matter of time. If I’m not hitting a nerve with you, then why are you back for more? It’s obvious – you’re obsessed, Johnny. You need me. Loverboy, everyone can see that you want to get it on but you’re rather clumsy. Your sincere efforts do continue to make me laugh. They’re a little predictable and getting kind of boring, however. Is that why you can’t get any play from the ladies? Keep trying to ice-skate uphill, you pot-bellied midget. It’s just funny to watch. Carry on playing… Read more »

Joeld, Nice try with the multiple paragraph layout. But with all due respect, you have no point. You see, Joely (if I may), it’s one thing to express frustration: even Roland thinks that it’s no problem if you disagree with the government. It’s another thing altogether to say, as JT does in his comment, that Mar Roxas “should be beaten to a pulp” and that stuff about taking him to the bottom of the ocean. That, Joely, you can call “incitement to sedition.” Look it up, it’s in the Revised Penal Code. But you’re clearly a little boy who thinks… Read more »

Johnny, now if I’m not mistaken, you’re obsessed with me! How nice to see you think of me THREE TIMES IN TEN MINUTES! That’s about once every three minutes – a healthy obsession. Tell, me, are you in love? Don’t by shy, loverboy. You’re among friends here. Whatever “job” you might have, it doesn’t look like it’s enough to stop you from being hungry, desperate, and stupid. But that’s all right – hungry, desperate, and stupid is the way I like to see you. Poverty suits you very well, Johnny. It really does. So, keep it coming. While your blood… Read more »

Johnny Derp, Looks like you’re feelings are all hurt. Three times in ten minutes – the evidence is there. “You are the one who’s obsessed not me,” you screech – the lady doth protest too much, methinks. Calm down, Johnny. It’s OK to be in love – it can happen to anyone, even you. Love conquers all, even hunger, desperation, and stupidity. In your case, it also makes them more intense. And I know you can’t help it, because you keep coming back for more. You’re such an animal – you’re insatiable! So carry on, Johnny. I’m still here and… Read more »

NOPE, its cheap rich people who abuse their ‘power’ (only given to them by the people) to abuse helpless waitstaff that need to have that power turned around and used on them, in no un-certain terms.This so they understand the position of power granted to them is not to any longer be abused.

Maybe you think this allegedly charming ‘MAR’ deserves a slightly less harsh analysis? Like the time he famously pondered the last name of a mayor while thousands of people were dying?

LOL, still up I see? Your bald boss in malacanang paying you overtime? What’s the matter, need money that badly? Word of advice: Get a real JOB Like I said before, keep being delusional in thinking that you’re getting upper hand, troll No matter how hard you insist that im obsessed over some immature fag like YOU only makes you look stupid here and you’ve already proven that by attempting to attack me with your pathetic ad-hominems. Shots were fired but all of them missed by a mile so it will take more than a lame, idiotic troll like YOU… Read more »

Oh Little Johnny, why so worked up if I’m not getting under your skin? Looks like you really need to come back for more. You are so obsessed! Still can’t get me out of your head? I know, you really love me. You’re kind of blatant about it, you know? If you weren’t planning on letting the world know, you kind of failed there. Let’s see: a “real job”, like yours, where you wear a Jollibee costume and get barebacked by a bunch of faggots with fantasies of fucking other species? Sorry, Johnny. I respectfully decline. I make more money… Read more »

@Foolish Felix You are so boring. You can’t even come up with a better insult than recycling that ad hominem…again I might just be “playing around with my balls” as you foolishly claimed but at least I have balls you on the other hand have none and mine are bigger than yours little troll with no day job a.k.a a BUM I know that you’ll reply with another retarded ad hominem in order to troll me so don’t bother since you already lost this argument. Your attempts at another attack against me have failed miserably. I have already notified the… Read more »

Same thing works on me everytime huh? Then why do I detect lousyness on your attempts?
Face it, you don’t have anything else to throw at me, you just won’t admit it, little troll with no balls and no brains.

Joel, Let’s agree that spirited discussion on GRP can lead to some rather heated exchanges. Sometimes involving colourful — if unneccessary — language. In the end it is just that — speech. Whether we agree with it or not, it is still protected as one of the principal rights of the individual. People’s standards vary. The one thing we should NEVER accept is that only certain groups or individuals — especially government — be allowed to dictate where we get our information or to control the thoughts of the general population through censorship. As a private enterprise, GRP certainly has… Read more »

This fiasco about Mar Roxas getting suspended at least proves that some people will give a damn about a politician who can just insult anybody and anytime just because he has power. This reminds me of Jun2x Binay’s “Don’t you know me?” speech.

I’m sure Korina’s going to whine and bitch on TV about his husband’s recent suspension and honestly, I don’t care at all.

Hey JT, glad to run into you again, fuckface! I like how you rock the Mamma Italia persona: “Imma havva to be a-really careful next time I steppa into the sewer!” – it’s so badass. Keep stirring that spaghetti sauce, JT. I’m quaking in my boots. The rest of what you have to say isn’t even worth responding to, so I’ll just let you stew in your class resentment while you think up some nice new names to call me. I welcome your hatred. Just-a don’t-a get-a too carried away in-a your rage and-a burn the bottom of-a your saucepan,… Read more »

Da mon not be callin you names, so what your problem is?
Flattering yourself will get you nowhere.
You have nothing but a big mouth and nothing to back it up with,NOW you go lay down like a good boy, and STFU!

I’ll answer you as I wish, Hyden. This is not the day that an adobo-munching monkey like you tells me what to do. Let’s insult your mother now with an oldie but goodie. Maybe you can read it to her after you wash and bandage her rotten pussy. She’ll need your help there after a long day of taking cock up her ass, in her mouth, and in her cunt before you crawl back in there for the night. So, candy ass, you should go find your AIDS-riddled whore of a mother at the Angeles City titty bar where she… Read more »

Tignan ninyo ang gago na ito…nakikialam sa atin , dahil binayaran ni Aquino at Roxas…you motherfucker…you have no business on this site…you are not a Filipino, but a “Mercenary Blogger” of Roxas and Aquino…

These hate-filled and foul-language laden arguments I’m reading above are getting nowhere that I just laugh and shake my head at the same time. Seriously, the comments section is become a troll zone, LOL.

I agree with *Ian, the brown juan* about the nosedive into trolldom but reading the comments here, it looks like you’re a major part of the problem. We seriously need to get back on topic and bring maturity back.

It boggles the mind sometimes how the South Korean Prime Minister would resign over the recent Ferry tragedy, while the likes of AbNoy and Mar continue to thrive even after having displayed (and we know will continue to display) an even far worse level of ineptness over several more serious tragedies.
